Locad was founded in Singapore and Manila in 2020, with additional offices in Australia and India. To ensure that customers receive delivery of their products with optimal speed and low shipping cost, Locad enables multi-carrier shipping for the last mile, with plug and play integrations to major last mile delivery providers, and a multi-carrier shipping management module (TMS) to automate the assignment of customer orders to the last mile carrier of choice. Brands can manage all their orders and stock from a single virtual pool across all sales channels, while benefiting from real-time visibility of sales, orders, inventory, and service levels. They make warehouses act as one – with on-demand, variable capacity and the platform combines distributed warehouses and fulfilment partners, as well as platforms such as Shopify, Magento, Amazon, Shopee and Lazada. Locad is a supply chain orchestrator that leverages technology to integrate a network of distributed warehouses, fulfilment partners and last mile shipping options that allow brands to manage their B2C supply chain end-to-end. There’s also a lack of plug and play integrations for marketplaces and e-commerce ecosystems. There is no single point of contact and companies need to manage too many vendors.

Yet, working with multiple third-party logistics partners can be complex and time consuming. To accelerate delivery times, brands need their products to be in warehouses closer to customers. While many companies are addressing first mile (trucking and freight) and last mile (delivery), the integration of warehousing and fulfilment is lacking. Brands are focusing more closely on logistics and supply chain management than ever before because today’s customers widely expect their orders to be delivered quickly, and on time, as a standard level of service. With the rapid growth of e-commerce, social commerce, D2C and B2B commerce in Southeast Asia, there is a growing need to integrate the entire logistics and supply chain for companies. Locad is making multi-channel e-commerce fulfilment easier than ever by offering a distributed warehousing network, which reduces shipping time and costs by storing products closer to customers.
